Ponce de Leon Golf & Conference Resort - Pitch & Putt Course

This resort has an eighteen hole regulation course, a nine hole pitch-n-putt course and a putting course. The Eighteen Hole Course brings together the waters of the Intracoastal Waterway along with the many marshes and trees of the area. It provides a very challenging game of golf, along with some of Florida’s most beautiful scenery. The breezy links-style front nine allows golfers a panoramic view of water birds feeding in the marshlands and sailboats traveling the Intracoastal Waterway. The back nine represents a different design, with the fairways lined with rows of live oak trees and draped with Spanish moss. The course follows the natural contour of the land, somewhat rolling, with the fairways turning in tune to the natural tree lines. Most of the bunkers are near the greens. There is water that comes into play on at least fourteen holes. The course has been redesigned several times over the years, most recently by Joe Lee in 1991. In 1990, holes #12, #13, and #14 were reconstructed to add some additional challenges. Hole #14, a 498-yard, par 5, has since been named the best par 5 in North Florida by the "Jacksonville Journal." Many major tournaments have been held at the course over its eighty year history, with many charity tournaments still held here. This traditional par 72 championship course was a regular stop for the professional tour in the 1930's and 1940's. The 5,856-yard men's tee also has a ladies' course rating of 73.2 and slope of 133. In addition to the championship course, the resort offers The Pitch and Putt Course and an eighteen hole putting course. The green fee for The Pitch and Putt Course is good for all-day play, with cart included. You may also walk the Pitch and Putt Course. Ladies tee off from the same set of tees as the men on the Pitch and Putt Course.
